Strathnairn Forest Shelter
A new shelter for a community woodland built within the forest. The shelter comprises a covered enclosed element with extensive decked areas. Large garage type doors open up to allow access onto the deck.
The timber for the shelter was supplied by the community group from their own woodland. The main structural frame is douglas fir with simple bolted connections. The deck, cladding and handrails are made from more durable larch. The roof is finished with sedum on a waterproof membrane.
